Loading ...Reputed Crime Boss Free Soon
MONTREAL – Gerald “Gerry” Matticks is scheduled to be released long before the end of his 12-year prison term. Matticks, reputed leader of the West End Gang, will reach his statutory release date on Aug. 6, the two-thirds mark of the sentence he received in 2002 after pleading guilty to several charges related to multimillion-dollar drug smuggling conspiracies carried out through the Port of Montreal.
Matticks worked at the port during the 1970s, where he had considerable influence when he was snared in a police investigation into how the Hells Angels handled the millions of dollars they made while controlling a large share of drug trafficking in Montreal.
Investigators learned Matticks was using his influence at the port to help the Hells Angels get hundreds of kilograms of cocaine through. During subsequent trials, it was alleged that Matticks made $13 million in 2000 while helping the Hells Angels. Matticks denied this during a parole hearing in 2009.
He is required to complete a "community skills maintenance program" and to avoid meeting with anyone he believes might have a criminal record.
